Roscoe Mitchell, John Chantler & Luke Fowler

Roscoe Mitchell plays his first concert of the weekend. a solo set in the Old Fruitmarket.  John Chantler is joined by artist, filmmaker and musician Luke Fowler.

Roscoe Mitchell has been at the vanguard of jazz and improvisation for half a century. His new work for Tectonics Glasgow closes this year’s festival, so it’s only fitting he opens it too, with a solo set in the Old Fruitmarket. Composer and musician John Chantler is joined by artist, filmmaker and musician (and former Turner Prize-nominee) Luke Fowler for a set using invented instruments made from resonating strings and the serge modular synthesizer.
